hey all,
I was looin at my taillights on my 120y sedan the other day as i washed it and found that when they were wet they looked alot brighter and nicer, and when they dried out looked very dull. I was wondering is there anything i can do like wipe on or spray sumthing on the inside or outside to make them not dull anymore, without having ot buy new lenses. Thanks Aaron

Get some "Autosol" polish compound. They will come up very nicely. After you have polished, you should polish them with some autowax.

A good scrub on the inside is a good idea.
But only polish the outside.

That's true, only the outside. They have gone dull due to UV deterioration to the outer layer. It's just regular Sun damage.
The inside can be dull with rusty junk, and also have "tide lines" from when they have filled up with water when it's been raining hard. A good scrub with your preferred liquid tile floor cleaner will bring the inside up like new. I've also started using the CLR cleaner spray, which is a diluted version of the CLR in a bottle. It's great for cleaning oxide (Aluminium or Ferrous) buildup off anything.

And while you have them pulled apart paint inside the housings (high opacity white if you can get it). It helps the light reflect out the lens a little better.
